Abstrak

Translanguaging plays a crucial part in the acquisition of English as a foreign language (EFL). The
objective of this study is to examine the occurrence of translanguaging in the classroom. The research was
carried out at SMAN 1 Payakumbuh with a sample size of 30 students from class XI. The research
methodology employed a descriptive qualitative. The data was acquired through the process of observation
and video capturing. The audio was transcribed using an orthographic transcription convention. The
research findings indicated the existence of three distinct forms of translanguaging inside the classroom,
serving as a pedagogical tool for achieving proficiency in English. Students frequently utilized the
interactive feature of translanguaging during the learning process. This research provides valuable
insights for educators seeking to implement translanguaging in the instruction of English as a second
language.
